Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laminated rubber bearing. More particularly, the invention relates to a peripheral-binding type laminated rubber bearing which is capable of supporting a variety of structures including buildings, bridges, tanks, or the like, or precision apparatuses including computers, medical-treatment apparatuses, security apparatuses, high-precision machine tools, analytical apparatuses, or the like, or artifacts, in the state of stably mounting those objects thereon in order to minimize acceleration incurred from earthquake, mechanical vibration, or traffic vibration, for example.
  • This conventional laminated rubber bearing used for decreasing acceleration transmitted to those sturctures, precision apparatuses, or artifacts cited above by way of fuctioning as a vibration-proof supporter.
  • This conventional laminated rubber bearing has a structure composed of alternately laminated rigid plates made of steel and soft rubber-like elastic plates having negligible effect of compressive permanent strain.
  • This conventional laminated rubber structure is disposed between upper and lower structures to swingably support the upper structure in the horizintal direction in order to decrease acceleration incurred from earthquake and protect the upper structure from destructive force generated by earthquake.
  • damping performance and stability against vertical load are extremely important factors in any of those laminated rubber bearings used for protection against destructive force generated by earthquake. Examples of damping performance and buckling-proof performance of conventional laminated rubber bearings are described below.
  • a conventional laminated rubber bearing disclosed in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-47417 has such a structure containig space in the structural contour of rubber-like elastic plate layers, where the space is filled with viscoelastic substance. In consequence, vibration-damping performance is promoted by means of deforming energy of the internally accommodated viscoelastic body.
  • Another conventional laminated rubber bearing disclosed in the Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 64-58370 has such a peripheral-binding type structure capable of exerting high rigidity in the vertical direction and high potential for supporting load in the state of exerting substantial deforming capability in the horizontal direction by filling a through-hole with a columnar viscoelastic body to hold this body with a peripheral binding body.
  • the peripheral binding body and/or the viscoelastic body are respectively capable of absorbing vibration energy mainly generated by frictional attenuation.
  • An elastic supporter is formed by alternately laminating a plurality of rigid plates made of steel and a plurality of elastic plates made of soft rubber. Viscous substance is accommodated in a through-hole extending in the axial direction of the elastic supporter. The viscous substance and the elastic substance are nipped by an upper plate an d a lower plate. The viscous substance integrated with these components is interposed between an objective structure and a supporter used for supporting the objective structure. Those steel plates respectively have inner circumferential surfaces extending to the interior of the through-hole. This structure increases tangential area between those steel plates and the viscous sus- btance, thus resulting in the intensified frictional force and promoted damping capability.
  • buckling-proof performance is described below. If buckling-proof performance of a laminated rubber bearing were inappropriate, then, the bearing will be subject to buckling caused by vertical load after being sheared by destructive force of earthquake.
  • Critical buckling point of this bearing is determined based on the relationship between the displacement of the sheared supporter and horizontal load when shearing occurs. When displacement caused by shearing exceeds the critical buckling point, the effect of displacement caused by shearing is quite noticeable. Therefore, such a conventional laminated rubber bearing apt to be subject to buckling may incur grave damage not only to the bearing itself but also to the structure mounted thereon, and therefore, such a conventional laminated rubber bearing cannot be offered for use in practical fields.
  • the conventional laminated rubber bearing is subject to buckling when a negligible amount of shearing displacement takes place in such a case in presence of a small value of secondary shape factor or in such a case in presence of a large proportion of the inner diameter of the through-hole against outer diameter of the rigid plates.
  • another conventional laminated rubber bearing disclosed in the Japanese Laid-OPen Patent Publication No. 3-163231 has such a structure described below.
  • the viscoelastic body having free surface being bound in the inner surface of the through-hole swells towards the rubber-like elastic plates by such an amount corresponding to surplus cubage.
  • Expansion of the viscoelastic body between rigid plates enables viscoelastic substance to fully adhere to the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole. This in turn results in the satisfactory mechanical coupling effect between the viscoelastic substance and the laminated body, thus promoting buckling-proof performance while properly maintaining high damping performance.
  • a viscoelastic body filled in a through-hole comprises a laminated viscoelastic body composed of alternately laminated viscoelastic bodies and rigid plates. This structure promotes both the damping performance and the buckling-proof performance.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-47417 discloses such a laminated rubber bearing incorporating a viscoelastic body inserted between a plurality of steel plates in order to generate damping performance.
  • this structure cannot fill the viscoelastic body between each steel plate by way of exceeding cubage, and therefore, clearance is generated in the inserted viscoelastic body. This in turn lowers capability of the laminated rubber bearing to support vertical load, buckling-proof performance, and absorption of energy generated by shearing deformation.
  • the Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 3-163231 discloses a technique to fill viscous substance between respective steel plates in order to generate damping performance. However, introduction of the viscous substance does not significantly contribute to the damping constant, and thus, this conventional laminated rubber bearing cannot generate substantial damping effect.
  • the conventional laminated rubber bearing disclosed in the above-cited Japanese Laid-Open Utility Model No. 2-54933, it accommodates viscous substance in a through-hole extending in the axial direction of an elastic supporter, and in addition, both the viscous substance and the elastic supporter are merely nipped by an upper plate and a lower plate without filling a viscoelastic body by way of exceeding cubage of the through-hole formed therein. Therefore, like the one disclosed in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-47417 described earlier, structure of this conventional laminated rubber bearing causes buckling-proof performance to be degraded. Furthermore, since this conventional laminated rubber bearing merely uses viscous substance, it is quite apparent that this system can hardly be offered for practical service by way of fully enhancing damping performance thereof.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved laminated rubber bearing capable of securely promoting buckling-proof performance and damping performance as well.
  • the invention provides an improved laminated rubber bearing comprising an external binding body comprising a plurality of alternating rigid plates and rubber-like elastic plates between outer peripheral regions of the rigid plates, a plurality of viscoelastic members disposed inside of the rubber-like elastic plates of the external binding body and between the rigid plates, a cylindrical cavity extending through the viscoelastic members and rigid plates and opening at both ends thereof, and a viscoelastic body having a volume greater than that of the cylindrical cavity and forced into the cylindrical cavity.
  • the laminated rubber bearing is characterized by the provision of an external binding body comprising a plurality of alternating rigid plates and rubber-like elastic plates with the rubber-like elastic plates between outer peripheral regions of those rigid plates, a plurality of viscoelastic members disposed inside of the rubber-like elastic plates of the external binding body and between the rigid plates, a cylindrical cavity extending through the viscoelastic members and the rigid plates, and an elastic or viscous substance having volume greater than that of the cylindrical cavity and being forced into the cylindrical cavity.
  • a diffusion preventive film be interposed between the viscoelastic members and the viscous susbstance.
  • the laminated rubber bearing according to the invention contracts inner diameter of a plurality of rigid plates (in other words, inner diameter of the cylindrical cavity) by filling clearance between respective rigid plates inside of those rubber-like elastic plates with viscoelastic members, thus securely achieving improved buckling-proof performance. Furthermore, since the viscoelastic members are positioned between inner peripheral regions of those rigid plates, shearing deformation of respective viscoelastic members is dominant, and therefore, energy-absorptive capability can be promoted mainly by effect offrictional attenuation.
  • either the viscoelastic body, or the elastic body, or the viscous substance having volume greater than that of the cylindrical cavity is forced into the cylindrical cavity, either the viscoelastic body, or the elastic body, or the viscous substance, swells towards the viscoelastic members between the rigid plates before eventually swelling itself into rubber-like elastic plates.
  • satisfactory mechanical coupling condition is generated between the viscoelastic members disposed between respective rigid plates and the rubber-like elastic plates. This in turn significantly promotes capability to absorb energy from shock, thus securely promoting damping performance.
  • the laminated rubber bearing according to an embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1a a and 1b b comprises a columnar viscoelastic body 5, a plurality of viscoelastic members 4 each having outer diameter D3 and inner diameter D4, and an external binding body 1 disposed in the periphery of the viscoelastic members 4.
  • the external binding body 1 is a laminated body in which a plurality of rigid plates 3 each having outer diameter D5 and inner diameter D6 and a plurality of rubber-like elastic plates 2 each having outer diameter D1 and inner diameter D2 are alternately laminated by disposing respective rubber-like elastic plates 2 between outer peripheral regions of respective rigid plates 3.
  • a plurality of viscoelastic members 4 are disposed inside of the rubber-like elastic plates 2 of the external binding body 1 in order that interspace between the rigid plates 3 inside of respective rubber-like elastic plates 2 can be filled with the viscoelastic members 4.
  • a cylindrical cavity 6 having inner diameter D4 is formed in the laminated domains of the viscoelastic members 4 and the rigid plates 3, where the cylindrical cavity 6 is open from the top to the ends thereof.
  • the vis- coelastic body 5 containing a volume greater than that of the cylindrical cavity 6 is forced into the cavity 6, thereby providing satisfactory mechanical coupling effect between the viscoelastic body 5 and the external binding body 1.
  • a pair of annular steel plates 7 and 8 for attachment are respectively secured to the top and bottom surfaces of the external binding body 1.
  • the rigid plates 3, rubber-like elastic plates 2, and the top and bottom plates 7 and 8, are structurally integrated with each other by means of adhesive agent coated on junction surfaces during a vulcanizing process or a molding process.
  • Another pair of steel plates 9 and 10 are secured to the top and bottom surfaces of the viscoelastic body 5.
  • the reference numeral 11 shown in Fig. 1 designates an external covering rubber set to external circumferential surface of the external binding body 1.
  • the inner circumferential regions of those rigid plates 3 disposed between respective rubber-like elastic plates 2 of the external binding body 1 are embedded in the viscoelastic members 4 by way of extending themselves by a length corresponding to the result of subtraction of inner dimameter D6 of each rigid plate 3 from outer diameter D3 of each viscoelastic member4 in the structure of the laminated rubber bearing.
  • the viscoelastic body 5 having a volume greater than that of the cylindrical cavity 6 is forced into the cylindrical cavity 6 formed in the viscoelastic members 4.
  • the top and bottom steel plates 7 and 8 of the external binding body 1 are respectively secured to a pair of upper and lower fixing steel plates 12 and 13 with bolts so that the bearing having the cylindrical cavity 6 filled with the viscoelastic body 5 is then inserted between an upper structure 14 and a lower structure 15, and then the fixing steel plates 12 and 13 are respectively secured to the upper and lower structures 14 and 15 with bolts.
  • all the rigid plates 3 making up the external binding body 1 are made of highly rigid members such as steel plates and all the rubber-like elastic plates 2 are made from highly damping rubber.
  • respective viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 may also be of any optional plane shape like square columnar shape or the like. Available material includes all elastomers capable of exerting rubber-like viscoelasticity like natural rubber and derivatives, a variety of synthetic rubbers, rubber-like plastic, and the like.
  • the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 may be composed of any of those materials identical to or different from each other.
  • Molecular structure of the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 may respectively be of bridged or non-bridged structure. Like those rubber-like elastic plates 2, the viscoelastic members 4 and the vis- coelastic body 5 may be adhered to those rigid plates 3 and the upper and lower steel plates 7 and 8, or they may not be adhered to any of these. However, in order to minimize temperature-dependent characteristic of the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5, generally, bridged molecular structure is preferred.
  • the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 respectively contain such dynamic characteristic that can be expressed in terms of a minimum of 0.3 up to a maximum of 1.5 of loss coefficient tan8 and a minimum of 4kgf/cm2 up to a maximum of 20kgf/cm2 of the shearing elasticity modulus G while the shearing deformation is still under-way.
  • a laminated rubber bearing solely aiming to minimize acceleration transmissible to structures by the shock of earthquake shall contain a minimum of 0.5 up to a maximum of 1.3 of loss coefficient tan8 and a minimum of 6kgf/cm2 up to a maximum of 15kgf/cm2 of shearing elasticity modulus G.
  • each of the rubber-like elastic plates 2 shall contain a minimum of 0.1 up to a maximum of 0.6 of loss coefficient tan8 and a minimum of 3kgf/cm2 up to a maximum of 15kgf/cm2 of shearing elasticity modulus G while shearing deformation still goes on. More preferably, any of those laminated rubber bearings solely aiming to decrease acceleration transmissible to structures from the shock of earthquake shall contain a minimum of 0.2 up to a maximum of 0.5 of loss coefficient tan8 and a minimum of 5kgf/cm2 up to a maximum of 12kgf/cm2 of shearing elasticity modulus G.
  • each of the rubber-like elastic plates 2 has negligible compressive permanent strain.
  • These rubber-like elastic plates 2 are respectively of soft-rubber plates each containing approximately 50Hs of hardness.
  • the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 respectively had less than 4kgf/cm2 of shearing elasticity modulus G, then, it will not fully improve damping performance of the laminated rubber bearing.
  • the rubber-like elastic plates 2 respectively had less than 3kgf/cm2 of shearing elasticity modulus G, then, it will lower horizontal rigidity of the laminated rubber bearing. In this case, amount of deformation is magnified even when slight vibration occurs, and then, the deformation will exceed a critical amount predeterm ined for the laminated rubber bearing.
  • the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 respectively had more than 20kgf/cm2 of shearing elasticity modulus G, and in addition, if the rubber-like elastic plates 2 had more than 15kgf/cm2 of shearing elasticity modulus G, then, it will strengthen horizontal rigidity of the laminated rubber bearing to expand proper frequency of the laminated rubber bearing itself. This in turn lowers practical effect to proof vibration and shock of earthquake.
  • the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 respectively had less than 0.3 of loss coefficient tan8, and yet, if the rubber-like elastic plates 2 respectively had less than 0.1 of loss coefficient tan8, then, it will lower damping performance of these components to cause vibration absorptive capability to be lost when earthquake-proof function is actually needed for the laminated rubber bearing. Conversely, if the viscoelastic members 4 and the viscoelastic body 5 respectively had more than 1.5 of loss coefficient tan 8, and in addition, if the rubber-like elastic plates 2 respectively had more than 0.6 of loss coefficient tan8, then, it will lower damping effect in frequency bands higher than the proper frequency of the laminated rubber bearing, thus easily leading to generation of vibration in high frequency bands.
  • outer diameter D4 of the viscoelastic body 5 is contracted to lower the effect yielded from insertion of the viscoelastic body 5 having volume greater than that of the cylindrical cavity 6, thus failing to achieve satisfactory mechanical coupling effect.
  • outer diameter D4 of the viscoelastic body 5 expands to conversely contract width (concretely, (D5 - D6)/2) of the external binding body 1. This in turn diminishes practical effect of binding each rubber-like elastic plate 2 against each viscoelastic member 4 and the viscoelastic body 5, thus lowering buckling-proof performance as well.
  • the relationship between diameters of the rigid plates 3 and the viscoelastic members 4 may be in the range specified in the above description.
  • the vertical load increases, higher buckling-proof performance is required. To satisfy this, the following condition should preferably be established:
  • Fig. 1 schematically illustrates the laminated rubber bearing incorporating a bridged viscoelastic body 5 representing one of preferred embodiments of the invention. As shown in Figures 2 through 4, this laminated rubber bearing is manufactured in accordance with the procedure described below.
  • an integrated body comprising an external binding body 1 incorporating the vis- coelastic members 4 and other essential components is secured onto a stationary plate 16 via a fixing flange 17.
  • a jig (not shown) is engaged with a tractive flange 18 secured to the fixing flange 17 in order to exert tensile force in the upward direction until reaching height H1.
  • the viscoelastic body 5 having volume greater than that of cylindrical cavity 6 is forced into this cylindrical cavity 6 by activating anotherjig 19 to pull the viscoelastic body 5 in the upward direction as of the state in which the outer diameter of the viscoelastic body 5 remains being narrower than the inner diameter of the cylindrical cavity 6.
  • the viscoelastic body 5 can easily be inserted in the cylindrical cavity 6 without compulsorily exerting tensile force to lift the external binding body 1 up to the height H1, it is of course unnecessary to lift it up to the height H1.
  • Fig. lb illustrates practical condition of the laminated rubber bearing embodying the invention, in which weight of an upper structure is properly held by the laminated rubber bearing, where expansion of the viscoelastic body 5 and the viscoelastic members 4 towards the viscoelastic members 4 and the rubber-like elastic plates 2 is promoted furthermore, thus achieving more satisfactory mechanical coupling effect between the external binding body 1 and the viscoelastic members 4.
  • the viscous substance 20 may comprise those softeners prepared from mineral oil such as aromatic oil, naphthenic oil, or paraffin oil, or those softeners prepared from vegitable oil such as castor oil, cotton seed oil, rape seed oil, rosin, or paraffin oil, or those low-molecular oils such as silicone oil, polybutene, or polyisobutylene, etc. for example.

  • the relationship between the diameters may be in the range specified in the above description.
  • higher buckling-proof performance is required. To satisfy this, it is desired that the following condition be established:
  • inner diameter D6 of each rigid plate 3 may advantageously be less than that of the above case of filling the cylindrical cavity 6 with the viscoelastic body 5 (see Fig. lb), thus enabling the laminated rubber bearing to simultaneously exert significantly higher damping and buckling-proof performances.
  • the laminated rubber bearing using the viscous substance 20 according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 7 is manufactured based on the method described below.

  • the integrated unit has height HO and incorporates the cylindrical cavity 6 of volume V0.
  • the integrated unit is secured onto a stationary plate 23 via a connecting plate 24.
  • tensile force is exerted in the upward direction from height HO to H1.
  • volume of the cylindrical cavity 6 expands from VO to V1. While this condition remains, the prepared viscous substance 20 is injected into the cylindrical cavity 6 containing expanded volume by means of an injection nozzle 27.
  • an inlet port 22 is closed by means of a plug 21, and then, the tractive force acting upon the external binding body 1 in the upward direction is freed.
  • height of the external binding body 1 becomes H2(H1 >H2>HO) to prove that the viscous substance 20 having a volume greater than that of the cylindrical cavity 6 is fully accommodated in the cylindrical cavity 6.

  • inner diameters of these rigid plates 3 are contracted furthermore, thus sharply promoting buckling-proof performance. Since the viscoelastic members 4 are disposed between inner peripheral regions of the rigid plates 3, shearing deformation of these viscoelastic members 4 is dominant.
